Book Review on, Imperial Hygiene: A Critical History of Colonialism, Nationalism and Public Health

Review the book in connection to environmental history or a subfield of environmental history. How does the book contribute to scholarship? What are the author’s main arguments? Do they provide sufficient evidence to support the argument? Is the author arguing against or with current scholarship? All of these questions should help you analyze the reading and provide a 700 word essay reviewing the book. This is not a book report, so while the writing should include some context from the book, the purpose of the assignment is to critique the writing, not to provide a detailed description of the entire book. Use proper academic language including academic formatting (double spaced, accurate grammar, and mechanical structure aligned with historical writing: thesis statement, introduction, body, conclusion). Include Chicago Style citations as footnotes but no bibliography is needed.
